Anyone import?If this won't come here.... .... I'll... I dunno, but I'll be damned sad. I'm surprised Squeenix is really not considering plans for it -- did handhelds underperform THAT much?

I hear an apparent end game spoiler tries to make the title less ridiculous.To anyone with morbid curiosity (and I don't even know if it's right)....----

Apparently the fairy that travels with you, on the game case, named Airy tricks you to destroying the world. The game is so much like Final Fantasy, but it ain't, so if you take out the "FF" from "Flying Fairy" you get "Lying Airy". World blown. Maybe.

I don't think its handhelds so much as its Squeenix being lazy fucks.

Sure they'll dump their awful fanfictions like the FFXIII trilogy but god forbid they release anything decent like their non compilation FFs, their DS Dragon Quest titles, or even other games like their SaGa remakes.

Also the puns in that spoiler puts the ones I made in my previous post to shame in their awfulness.

Haha yeaaah.. I kinda thought it was cheesy to make a pun spoiler or whatever. I'd have taken a normal-sounding title.

If Squeenix is actually being lazy, then I immediately hate this FF13-2-2 garbage even more.

It's sort of irritating that companies are lazy by making sequels that no one wants instead of moving on (but that requires a new graphical and engine "build up" that wussy companies don't want to risk).

EDIT: This just in, in topped sales this week, almost 150k copies -- which is damned nice for a new franchise.

SE releases 90% of their RPGs in the west so I don't see how they're lazy. FFXIII and XIII-2 are only 2 games out of many others that they bring over. This also includes Complication titles, which we don't get all the games in anyway.

The only reason you don't see a lot really niche series like SaGa over here is pretty obvious, they sell like shit. This especially true in current market.

I can understand finding "Bravely Default" utterly baffling, but I don't see what's wrong with "Flying Fairy". The game actually has Fairy who is a principal character. I also find spoiler pretty clever considering the events in the game and it's surprising very unpretentious. I think some of you are just too jaded. :P

Yeah, the debut has been very nice and the game is getting great reviews and impressions.

BTW, the Vampire class apparently is kinda of like a "Blue Mage" and one interesting traits about it is that those in this Job are in permanent undead status. This means if a character dies in this class, they can automatic be revived in the next turn, provided everyone else still alive in battle.

So are you saying that Dragon Quest is a niche series? Because we only got VI & IX due to Nintendo picking up the distribution slack.

IIRC, even though Nintendo brought over VI and IX, the sales of those games weren't all too great nor did they localize many of the other titles. DQ isn't talked about much on western gaming forums either.

Hell, I'm pretty sure SMT in general is way more popular over here and that series still considered niche.
